Everyone was shocked, no one spoke for a long time. Then came the sound of swords withdrawing from scabbards, Dong Fang Yu Qing quickly stopped them.
Hua Qian Gu glared at the man in front of her, her poisoned skin was black and shiny, Xuan Yuan Lang’s heart sped up from her gaze.
Hua Qian Gu suddenly burst into laughter, then gestured excitedly with her hands and legs, looking like a beetle wanting to sprint forward to him, but her short hands and legs could not reach him.
Xuan Yuan Lang saw her shrieking, feeling annoyed, was this kid crazy? What happened to his Qian Gu?
Hua Qian Gu was thrilled, her nose burned, too bad she did not have any tears, only her nose was runny, hence she grabbed Xuan Yuan Lang’s sleeve and swung it back and forth, so excited she could not speak for a long time.
“Huhuhu…… Lang gege…… I’m Qian Gu…… huhuhu……”
“Huh?” Xuan Yuan Lang looked at his wet sleeve from the kid’s runny nose in distress.
Hua Qian Gu looked up, patted down her tangled hair, exposing her full face, looking into his eyes that were bright like stars.
“I, I’m Qian Gu, Lang gege, you don’t recognize me? I really missed you huhuhu……” If he did not suddenly yell rudely like Lang gege, she would never recognize the person in front of her was her sworn brother.
Xuan Yuan Lang groaned in disbelief, held her face to examine carefully, then used a sleeve to wipe her black face. He finally screamed, embracing her.
“Dammit, it’s my Qian Gu, it’s really my Qian Gu, we haven’t seen each other in five years, you haven’t grown older but you’ve become really fat and dark, and you’ve turned from a boy into a girl, oh Heaven……”
Everyone collapsed in a heap.
Lie Xing Yun’s face reddened, not sure whether to laugh or cry. The Emperor’s bad manner had not changed after these years, immediately returning to his real self if he was excited. Fortunately, they were in casual clothes so no one knew he was the Emperor.
Sha Qian Mo hovered in the air and gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, should he chop off that jerk’s left arm or right arm? No, both arms hugged kiddo so both arms needed to be chopped off!
Hua Qian Gu wiped her runny nose and smiled at him: “It’s great to see Lang gege again, you’re taller and dressed so formally, scaring me.”
Xuan Yuan Lang pounded his chest and looked at the wild pig in front of him, patting her head and vowed: “Don’t be sad, Qian Gu, you can be a boy or a girl, you can look like human or a pig, I’ll still love you, take care of you, treat you well like before.”
Hua Qian Gu tried to nod, smiling in embarrassment: “Lang gege, I’m actually a girl, I was poisoned so my face is swollen and black, I’ll return to normal when the poison is gone.”
Xuan Yuan Lang was stunned, a girl? So she was always like this, never changed gender? Great! How wonderful! He affectionately looked at her, so happy he almost cried.
“I’ll let everyone know who you are! Everyone, this is my sworn brother Lang gege. Lang gege, these people are disciples of Mount Tai Bai, and these people are my sect seniors and juniors from Mount Chang Liu.”
“Mount Chang Liu? Why did you go to Mount Chang Liu? Didn’t you want to join Mount Mao?”
“Ah yes, it was supposed to be Mount Mao, but things happened so I went to Mount Chang Liu, I’ll tell you everything later.”
Dong Fang Yu Qing suddenly knelt down before Xuan Yuan Lang and paid respect that was reserved for the Emperor. Everyone was shocked and realized Xuan Yuan Lang was the Emperor of the human realm. Dong Fang Yu Qing asked Xuan Yuan Lang if he could represent them to fight against Chun Qiu Bu Bai in the third round. Xuan Yuan Lang agreed because he wanted to help Hua Qian Gu. He retrieved a sword from his internal coffer. Everyone was amazed when they saw it was the Xuan Yuan Sword. The mythical sword had disappeared for many years, evidently it had fallen into the hands of the imperial family.
Xuan Yuan Lang flew into the air opposite of Chun Qiu Bu Bai, and the fight began. Xuan Yuan Lang was not as powerful as Chun Qiu Bu Bai, but the Xuan Yuan Sword gave him an advantage.The sky turned dark as the combatants used more than 1,000 moves against each other. Chun Qiu Bu Bai suddenly cried out and fell from the sky. Xuan Yuan Lang also fell down, but his injury was not as serious as Chun Qiu Bu Bai.
Chun Qiu Bu Bai suddenly disappeared. He used the Kun Lun Mirror to reappear behind Hua Qian Gu and seized her. Before anyone could react, Chun Qiu Bu Bai already flew out of everyone’s reach so they could not do anything to him, especially now that he was holding Hua Qian Gu as a hostage.
Hua Qian Gu knew she was in grave danger and did not want to become a burden to her friends. However, if she was going to die, she decided to take Chun Qiu Bu Bai with her. Chun Qiu Bu Bai felt his hands going numb and realized in alarm that Hua Qian Gu was transferring the poison from her body into him through his hands, which were gripping her. He could not hold onto Hua Qian Gu anymore and angrily flicked a poisoned needle at her.
Hua Qian Gu used her immense internal energy to block the needle. However, she was heavily injured so she could not control the force field. The silver light surrounding her body began to expand. Sha Qian Mo flew forward to stop her but was knocked backward. Dong Fang Yu Qing, Shuo Feng and Tang Bao bravely rushed toward Hua Qian Gu. If she could not be stopped, she would destroy Mount Tai Bai.
A silver light flashed in the distance, the fingers flicked once, steadily and accurately aimed at the fatal acupoint on Chun Qiu Bu Bai’s back. Chun Qiu Bu Bai screamed in pain, his body shook violently, plunging down from the sky.
The white figure flew closer, before Sha Qian Mo could stop Hua Qian Gu, already absorbing her immense internal energy and pulled her into his arms, quickly sealing her major acupoints, transferring endless internal energy into her body like surging waves, gradually extinguishing the force field around her body.
Hua Qian Gu opened her eyes and looked at him, feeling surprised and elation, could not believe for a long time that he was real because this felt like a dream. She finally put her arms around his neck, burying deeper in his embrace.
“Teacher!!!”
